Abstract
Compares the relative merits of CCD and CMOS based video cameras. Describes the design and fabrication of CMOS sensors which include considerable hardware computational elements on the same chip as the sensor array. These enable the device to output picture information in a form that is directly compatible with multimedia PC application requirements.
